The bes t loc ations are dark[...]

USE THE SPECIFICA TIONS TO CAL CULA TE THE MAGNIFICA TION OF YOUR EYEPIECE The power of a tel escope is how much it magnifies objects. Y our 25mm eyepiec e magnifies an object 28 times. Y our 9mm eyepiec e magnifies objects 78 times. But if you obtain other ey epieces, you can cal culate how much magnification they have with your tel escope. Just d[...]
